13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Belatedly opened his Flat turf account over C&D (good) last month; respectable third to Basilette here on firm since; course record reads 423213 so expect him to be in the shake-up. |

Belatedly opened his Flat turf account in similar event over C&D (good) last week, taking Bath record to 42321 and adding to his AW/hurdles wins; incurs 4lb penalty but defied this mark a couple of years ago; very solid chance. |

8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Returned to winning ways when scoring over C&D (good) last month off 4lb lower; raced too freely at Ffos Las two days later and may be worth considering back at his last winning venue. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 5 (5) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Placed three times from four starts here but his regular hunting ground is Bath and he scored there (1m, heavy) off 5lb lower wearing a new hood/tongue-tie combination in October; kept to that track until the hood was removed in ten-runner handicap at Chepstow (1m, good) on Monday when he saw it well to score under Mason Paetel; carries 4lb penalty but won't mind what the weather does; player. |

Patchy round Bath for his current yard this year, mainly over further; ran poorly ten days ago, hard to predict and some way down the pecking order. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Six visits to Epsom have seen her placed four times, including when second in this race in 2024; narrowly got the better of one of just two rivals when winning at Windsor (11.5f, good to firm) in May and it was a solid fourth in similar event back there a fortnight ago; will probably give her running but more of an each-way prospect. |
13/2 |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |

Dual C&D winner, including latest start (good to firm) when narrowly beating Seventy in three-runner field; back up only 1lb and looks likely to remain competitive. |
7/2 |
|
1st 6 (1) |
25th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |

Has several pieces of C&D form, including a success in 2023 and respectable fourth in latest start; competitively handicapped, having gained last three wins off just 1lb lower; enters calculations. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 61y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Made all for his last three wins, the latest at Bath in May; never better than when beaten a nose in four-runner race at Nottingham (again 1m6f on good to firm) two weeks ago, so he needs respect. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 1 (2) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Gained his fourth success when making all at Bath (1m6f, good to firm) last month and ran another respectable race when a 2l fourth of seven over this C&D 25 days ago; contender. |

Back in excellent form after 12 months off and landed 1m6f handicap at Bath nine days ago; up 3lb but this gutsy front-runner is not taken lightly. |

7th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Still seeking his first win after 20 attempts but he has finished second in three of his last four starts, including C&D; Billy Loughnane booked and he is more appealing than most. |
11/10 |
|
2nd 6 (2) |
1st Jul 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-19 but found just the even-money favourite who has won again since too strong in first-time blinkers (retained) at Ffos Las last week; should cope with dropping back to 1m from 1m2f and is drawn to attack. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 2 (7) |
23rd Jun 2026 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Regressive maiden but hasn't been running too badly and it was a classified race in which he was second two starts back (8.6f); should run well in new blinkers. |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 209y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Likes it here and took advantage of the drop to 0-50 classified company when winning a weak race over C&D early in the month; that won't have hurt his confidence but this is a deal more competitive. |
5/1 |

1st 3 (7) |
4th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 6 |

Sole win came in 1m2f handicap here last June on good to soft; below par this season but the recent rain heightens interest. |
4/1 |
|
7th 7 (1) |
22nd May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Sole win (19 starts) was over 1m2f at Ffos Las last June; has the same mark today, having finished no better than sixth in his four races since, two of them this season; raced freely when behind here on his only attempt beyond 1m4f (1m5f last September) so there are enough doubts. |

Resumed winning ways over 1m4f here in May and backed it up with a solid third of nine in 1m4f Leicester handicap 25 days ago; considered. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 4 (1) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
0-10 on turf but returned to form to win at Kempton (1m4f, AW) in refitted cheekpieces 24 days ago; her only other win also came over that C&D and she may be vulnerable back on turf off this 3lb higher mark. |
10/1 |

1st 5 (4) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won over C&D in November but that is her sole win from 20 starts and she's been out of sort in four runs for current yard; continues to drop down the weights but she needs a major revival; cheekpieces back on. |

Won three on the AW earlier in the year; often ran well here last summer but off much lower marks and it may well be that the handicapper has closed in now. |

29th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
In fine form on the AW in 2026, scoring twice over C&D in April; beat one back on turf at Bath last time but no surprise to see him get back on track here. |
9/1 |
|
8th 1 (3) |
4th May 2026 Firm 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-9 on turf but returns to this surface after posting form figures of 12211 over 1m4f on the AW; his mark has suffered as a result but he still appeals more than most. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Took advantage of a drop in the weights when winning a 0-55 contest by a neck over C&D three weeks ago; 5lb rise puts him on his previous winning mark and although not the easiest of rides, Tom Queally knows him well (2-8 on him); major player. |
11/4 |

1st 1 (4) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Disappointing favourite in first-time blinkers at Bath (11.6f, good) last month but that headgear is dispensed with and cheekpieces return; drops into a 0-55 for the first time and is 5lb lower than when winning over C&D (good to firm) last July; respected; stable also runs Letsbeatsepsis. |
6/1 |
|
9th 3 (5) |
4th May 2026 Firm 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Backed up a good run on the AW with a fourth here last week when just behind Knightmare; a tongue-tie returns along with new blinkers; thereabouts. |
